IMPROVED CAMP COOKING APPARATUS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 33,357, dated September 24, 1861.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DUNCAN MCKENZIE, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Gamp Cooking and Baking Device; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, referencebeing had tothc annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, in which- Figure l is a vertical section of my in vention, taken in the line at a, Fig. 2; and Fig. 2 is a front view of the same.

Similar letters refer to like parts inboth Views. 7

e The object of this invention is to combine a range and baking apparatus in such away as to obtain a very portable and convenient device well calculated for camp purposes.

The invention consists in having a cookingrange of usual construction placed at the bottom of a metallic case, which is provided at its upper part with a hot-air chamber, the latter communicating with the range by vertical fines, and the apartment over the range provided with a rotating holder to receive and contain articles under the process of baking, all being arranged as hereinafter de-' scribed.

To enable those skilled in the art to fully.

A represents a range, which may be con-.

structed precisely like those in general use or similar to them, the fire chamber or grate being at the center and a roasting-oven at each side. (See Figr2, in which a represents the doors of the grate, and b b the doors of the ovens.) The range A is at the lower part of a rectangular case B,- which is of metal, and has a chamber 0 at its upper part,said chamber communicating with the flues of the range A by means of vertical tubes D at each side of the case B.

E is the smoke-pipe, which projects from the center of the top of the chamber 0, and F* is a tube which passes through the chamber C and afio'rds a communication between the interior of the case 13 and the external an.

The'space within the case '13 below the chamber 0 and above the range A forms a baking-oven F, and it will be seen that it is very uniformlv heated, it having .the range A below the chamber C at the top and the tubes or lines D at the sides.

The oven F is provided at its lower front part with two doors 0 c, hinged at their outer parts, and'provided with a vertically-sliding door 02 above the doors cc. Byopening these doors the whole of the front of the oven F may be exposed and cooking-vessels placed on and taken off the range A.

Within the oven F there is placed a horizontal shaft G, which has radial arms e at each end, from which pans f are suspended loosely. The pans f receive the substance to be baked, and by turning the shaft G from time to time the substances will be evenly baked.- This arrangement affords great facility in placing articles in the oven and re' moving them therefrom.

The tube F* admits of the escape of all gases and moisture from the oven F. The

productsof combustion, it will be understood,

pass from the fire-chamber of the range up the tubes orflues D into-the chamber 0 and thence'into the pipe E.

I do not claim the rotating suspended pans f, for they have been previously used, nor do I claim any part herein described when separately considered; but,

Having thus described my invention, what I do claim as new,-a nd desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination of the range A, hot-air chamber 0, tubes or flues D, and baking-oven F, when arranged, as shown, to form a new and improved portable cooking and baking ,device.
